Pros

Nothing that I can share

Cons

- The company is full of people that would be unemployable elsewhere. - Those who are managing people have no idea about leading a team. - At Philips, the way you can go doesn’t depend on your skill set or how you can contribute to the strategic direction of the company, but it has all to do with the number of years you spend at the company (perhaps learning nothing and doing nothing). - No HR systems, procedures, strategic actions. - Full of disengaged employees. - No sense of ownership nor collaboration. - No visible company culture. The culture element is broken :)

Pros

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Cons

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
